Does anyone else see the obvious flaw with Steve rebuilding an engine in the kitchen of his flat? :D

I had a 924 engine dropped off on a pallet on the drive.
That has an Iron block
And it was full of oil
And it had full inlet manifold and iron exhaust on it.
Even in bits I struggled to move it
Its still at the back of the drive under an old water tank...

Yes I can see a slight flaw... :damnfunny
